Probably in the next year or less.
After 3 months, I've not received any OTA updates. Those that did receive them can't really say what if anything the changed. Ford is certainly keeping mum. If Ford does add some mythical functionality to the volume dial, won't they have to add some capability to change the mode? They can either bury it in the menus (is that really useful?), or take additional screen space to make this work.
The two ota's and what they were for has been discussed ad nauseum in this forum. Substantive updates will start occurring in the third quarter.
Ad nauseum yes. A lot of guesses, but no confirmed details of what was included. 3rd quarter is just around the corners, so we'll see. We'll also see if Ford decides to share their change log at some point.
Actually the details on the two OTAs were given very early on in the discussion. It’s just that most decided that couldn’t be what they really were doing or missed the posts. There’s nothing in those OTAs that would be noticed by us. That doesn’t mean they were just h FJ it show though.
No, it would actually be very simple. If you tap fan speed, the dial briefly controls fan speed before reverting back to volume. If you tap temp, the dial briefly controls temp before reverting back to volume. It would be extremely easy to implement and extremely intuitive.
The first substantive OTA update was first promised by Farley “soon” back in January 2021. Then service techs started promising us “Q2 2021.” There’s no reason to trust any timeline. Yay Ford’s gonna fix / add this by Q__ 20__!!
But your TV and your laptop have physical buttons and none of those three require you to pay a high level attention elsewhere while accessing functions. From a purely functional perspective, electro-mechanical or mechanical controls are safer in a vehicle than touch. I actually hate the touch controls in my Fusion Because they require that I look at the touch panel rather than the road.
I agree my 2006 Mustang has no touch screen or display screen at all, along with no steering wheel controls. But it’s very easy to switch radio stations, alter the volume, mess with the a/c through the dials and switches, etc. because I have easily committed there location to muscle memory and can reach out without looking to hit the button or turn the dial I want.
Yes my TV has a single physical button. On/Off. And I never use it. All the controls are on the remote. Changing volume on the TV is very easy via remote. Changing volume is very easy on MME using controls on the wheel. Still no need for a big ugly dial.
Unless there is some sort of change log from Ford that you can point me to, all the discussions are just guesses, rumors, and innuendos.
Got the same message for my s 20 fe "phone not compatible". After my 4th try to setup and same message I tapped on continue setup and was able to setup my s20 fe as a key and after a month it's just working better and better. Try tapping on continue and good luck.
The relmote is what I was referring to. They are still physical buttons.
This has just gotten stupid. You don't like the dial, fine. You think it's ugly, fine. To compare a moving vehicle, where attention and eyes must remain on the road while performing other tasks, to your TV (across the room, hello remote control) and computer (where hands are constantly resting on the very keyboard that controls the volume) is idiotic. Now you're just trolling and being argumentative.
